Information We Receive Automatically
When you visit teyqu.com, our server records routine log entries. These may include your IP address, browser type and version, device operating system, the pages you view, the date and time of each request, and the website that referred you. We use this information to diagnose technical issues, protect against abuse, and understand general usage patterns. Log data is retained only as long as necessary for these purposes and is not linked to any personal identifier beyond the IP address.
Information You Provide Voluntarily
If you send a message to the catalogue project (editor@teyqu.com) or use any contact form, we receive the content of your message along with your email address and any other details you choose to share. We use this solely to respond to your inquiry or to address the matter you raise. We do not add your email address to any marketing list or share it with third parties.
Site Preferences
Certain features of the catalogue may allow you to set preferences, such as your preferred category view or reading mode. Any preferences you select are stored locally in your browser or in a session cookie. We do not store these preferences on our server in a way that identifies you personally.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies for the operation and improvement of the site. A cookie is a small text file stored on your device. The cookies we set may include:
- Essential cookies – required for basic functions such as navigating between pages or remembering your preference to dismiss a notice. These do not require your consent.
- Analytics cookies – where enabled, these help us understand how visitors use the site, which pages are most popular, and whether any errors occur. We use aggregated data only and do not attempt to identify individual users.
- Advertising cookies – where displayed, advertisements on the site may set cookies. These are controlled by the advertising provider and are subject to their own privacy policies.
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may affect the functionality of the site.
Analytics
We may use a third-party analytics service to collect and report on aggregate usage data. This service may set its own cookies or use web beacons to track your interactions across sessions. The information collected is anonymised and used only to improve the catalogue. You can opt out of analytics by adjusting your browser’s cookie preferences or using the consent controls provided on the site.
Advertising
Where advertising is displayed on teyqu.com, we may use Google AdSense or another advertising network. These networks may use cookies, web beacons, and other technologies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites. This enables interest-based advertising. You can learn more about how Google uses data when you consent to ads at policies.google.com/technologies/ads. You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting adssettings.google.com or the relevant network’s opt-out page.
Web Beacons
Emails we send (if any) or advertisements displayed may contain small graphic images called web beacons (also known as pixel tags). These allow us to count readers who have opened a message or viewed an ad, and to measure the effectiveness of communications. Web beacons are not used to collect personal information.
Purposes of Processing
We process information for the following purposes:
- To operate, maintain, and improve the catalogue.
- To respond to your communications.
- To protect the security and integrity of the site.
- To comply with legal obligations.
- To serve and measure the effectiveness of advertising, where displayed.
Service Provider Access
We may engage limited third-party service providers (such as hosting, analytics, or email delivery) who have access to information only as necessary to perform their functions. They are contractually bound to maintain confidentiality and are not permitted to use the data for any other purpose.
Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure, or access. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Data Retention
We retain information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. Log data is typically retained for a limited period and then deleted or anonymised. Messages and correspondence are retained only until the matter is resolved, unless a longer retention is legally required.
Your Choices and Rights
You have choices regarding the collection and use of your information:
- Browser controls – most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies and to clear your browsing data.
- Consent controls – where analytics or advertising cookies are used, we may provide a consent management tool that lets you accept or reject non-essential cookies.
- Access and correction – you may request access to any personal information we hold about you, or ask that we correct or delete it, by contacting editor@teyqu.com.
- Opt-out of advertising – you can opt out of personalised advertising through the Ad Settings of your browser or device, or via the relevant advertising network.
Depending on your location, you may have additional rights under applicable data protection law, such as the right to restrict processing, data portability, or to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
